More of an intention.

I somewhat agree -- my first reaction was to append "and then a plan" to the end of the sentence.

But I think the most accurate take on the subject is this:

"I have always found plans to be worthless, but planning indispensable." --Dwight D. Eisenhower

An important distinction I think.
